Agenda Packet
[731 S. 14th Street, Fernandina Beach, FL 32034; case BOA2026-0004] The document is a staff report for Board of Adjustment case BOA2026-0004, recommending approval of a variance request for a property at 731 S. 14th Street, Fernandina Beach, FL. The request is to allow redevelopment of a vacant 0.22-acre lot with a triplex (three dwelling units), which is permitted by the R-2 zoning and Medium Density Residential FLUM but requires a variance from Land Development Code Section 1.03.05 (Construction or Demolition of Structures on Combined Lots) because the property was previously improved with a single-family residence. The applicant is Amelia Concepts Rentals LLC, with Charity Weston as agent. The staff report recommends approval, finding the request meets all six criteria for a variance. The document also includes an email thread regarding building height clarification and a letter from the City Manager regarding Comprehensive Plan amendments, but these are not part of the variance project. The document does not state a final decision by the Board of Adjustment, only the staff recommendation. The document does not include any public comment or stakeholder sentiment regarding the variance request.

1. A variance shall not be granted which authorizes a use that
A property owner is seeking a variance to divide a single lot at 409 Stanley Drive in Fernandina Beach. The current lot measures 100 feet by 203 feet and is zoned R-1, Low Density Residential. The request is to split this into two separate lots, one measuring 100 feet by 100 feet and the other 100 feet by 103 feet. This item is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. If approved, this division could lead to future construction projects, potentially involving site preparation, utility connections, and the erection of new structures. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's scope as it moves through the review process, as this offers an advantage before final plans and permits are established.

1. Special Conditions
A property owner plans to split a single lot into two buildable lots at the corner of Stanley Drive and Highland Dunes Way. The current lot is 203 feet by 100 feet. The proposal is to create one lot of 103 feet by 100 feet facing Stanley Drive and a second lot of 100 feet by 100 feet facing Highland Dunes Way. This item is currently under review by the Board of Adjustment. The project would involve demolition of existing structures, site clearing and grading for two new lots, and then construction of two new homes. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage with the property owner before final site plans, bids, and permits are established. Reaching out now could provide a competitive advantage for future work on this development.
